In a bid to prove that it is not true, he is back with another studio album "Guilt".
MIMS has just dropped the new record in U.S. on April 7. On the same day the album arrived in stores, he held a listening party taking place at Citrine, which is located in the heart of Chelsea, with DJ Shogun of Headshell Ltd. serving behind turntable.
Exclusive: MIMS Talking About New Album 'Guilt'
April 08, 2009 10:04:20Hot on the heels of his new album's release, MIMS exclusively shares to AceShowbiz about "a couple of records out of the album." Among the songs he thinks people should know are "One Day" and "Chasing Sunshine", both which are available to stream on his MySpace.
Speaking about "One Day" where he teams up with Bob Marley's son, Ky-Mani Marley, MIMS says, "The one you need to think about this record is I don't really consider it as Hip-Hop record. I just consider it as something that is appealing to the masses." He adds, "It's gonna be something that hits everybody."
